Mr. Electric GTA West

Electricians in Toronto

"We decided to finish our basement this past winter. Part of the reno involved moving the Electrical circuit panel. This work needed to be completed within a certain time frame as we were working within tight deadlines. I placed a call to Mr. Electric and received a call back from Susan the same day. She was able to schedule a consultation within 24 hrs. We were very impressed with the fact that Susan accomodated our request at such short notice. After the initial consultation and quote, Scott and Devin were scheduled in less than a week later to complete the work. Both Scott and Devin were easy to work with, provided much advice and guidance, easily shared their knowledge and expertise. They were very respectful of our home and renovation expectations with respect to quality of work, timelines and follow up. They were very accomodating to our requests even if last minute - midstream, we decided to also install pot lights in our upstairs family room. After living with the lighting choice for a few weeks, we decided to switch our lighting from led to halogen simply because we did not like the type of lighting that the led provided. Mr. Electric was quick to respond to our request and made the switch with absolutely no problem! To Linda and Drago and the rest of the Mr. Electric team - thanks so much for all of your hard work and commitment to ensuring that the work that we needed done was completed to the highest standards, but for also meeting and exceeding our expectations during this renovation!!!!"

Hotwire Electric-All inc

Electricians in Toronto

"After educating ourselves and learning that copper is better... We wanted every piece of aluminum wiring removed from our home. After doing our research and having several companies come out to look over the work to be done, our choice was easy. HOTWIRE. Oris came out for the original inspection, he explained what needed to be done to have the entire house rewired and noted other shortcomings of the previous owners. Oris was very friendly, knowledgeable and personable and explained everything in a way we could easily understand. The quote came in and HotWire was hired. Most of our communication was with Hanna who answered most of my questions after the initial visit and again, very helpful. Both Oris and Hanna are very good at answering email and getting back to us by phone which is a rare find. The work was started very quickly and soon we had holes and wires all over the place. The crew that came in were an great bunch of guys. Adam was very helpful, explained what they were doing as it was being done and answered every question without any signs of frustration. Along with Adam came Alex, Alex and James. These guys removed baseboards, reached up through pot light holes and climbed through the attic to minimize the amount of holes needed to be cut to feed the new wire. This job took about a week and each day they cleaned up behind themselves for a clean start the next morning. Not only is the house completely rewired, but they installed new smoke detectors on each floor, replaced any receptacles where required and added AFCI breakers for the bedrooms to ensure the home was brought to code. We also had them replace our old pot lights in the basement with a set of new, modern lights that look fantastic. I would definitely recommend this team of professionals to anyone looking for electrical work and will certainly call them again should we need work done. Thank you to the entire team!"

What do licensed electricians do?

An electrical contractor plans, installs and repairs wiring in structures. He or she works closely with the home’s general contractor or remodeling contractor to determine the specific electrical needs for the project and to ensure that the wiring will meet Toronto building codes. An electrical contractor’s job also includes installing and repairing fixtures, switches and other visible components of electrical systems.

With today’s technological needs and advances, many electricians in Toronto also are trained to install fiber optic and coaxial cables for electronic equipment. Certain electrical companies may design and install data systems and wire for security features such as alarms too. Some electrical contractors specialize in specific areas, such as HVAC, low-voltage appliances and systems and more, so be sure to ask about their training to see if it fits your project needs.
